Zocherpark, Public park and national monument in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The Zocherpark extends for five kilometers around Utrecht's historical center, featuring paths along canals and centuries-old trees that form a natural border.
The park replaced medieval defensive walls in the early 19th century when architect J.R. Zocher transformed the obsolete fortifications into a public green space.
More than 400 trees in Zocherpark have reached centenarian status, making this green space a protected national heritage site within the Netherlands.
Visitors can access multiple entry points along the park's circular route, which connects different sections of Utrecht's center through maintained walking paths.
The transformation from military fortification to public park took over 40 years to complete, resulting in a continuous green belt around Utrecht's old city.
